To Catch a Lunch Thief

My office has been hit by more lunch thievery and some of my coworkers are seriously considering a nanny cam.
Any ideas out there for how to foil this behavior? I have ideas but none of them are legal.

Wrap some ex-lax in saran wrap and leave it. The next person you see in and out of the bathroom is the culprit0

Put extra hot sauce in everything!0

Get some red hot chili powder and sprinkle that in the sandwich and then they'll think twice. The hotter the better!! The one drinking gallons of water is the culprit!0

unfortunately you can't do this, or poison it, or do anything to it that will purposefully bring another person bodily harm. You can put extra hot sauce in it, however. I don't think the nanny cam is a bad idea.0 -

Interesting. I got some of "Dave's Insanity Sauce" for Christmas a couple years ago. Maybe it's time that it made it's way into some baked goods. Boo yah.0 -
Tape a 3x5 card on the fridge that says "smile! You're on camera"
No actual camera needed. Problem solved.0 -
Hmm I'm thinking ghost pepper atomic buffalo chicken sandwich sounds good for lunch. The nanny cam would probably work.0

Be careful. Dave's is caustic. It's over the top in hotness.0 -
We suspected the cleaning people of raiding our breakroom. I set up spycams. This is what *I* got: http://s1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg488/enigmati/Thieves/?action=view¤t=Thieves.mp4
They got: FIRED.0 -
I feel your pain. Hot sauce or something else that wont cause *much* physical discomfort would be a good thing. Oh and since you're doing it to your own sandwich lunch or whatnot, why would it be an issue if someone else has physical problems? Stealing lunches is still stealing, I wish more managers would realize this and do something about it. Do they really think the person isn't stealing from the office as well?0

wow the things people do0 -
As another posted mentioned, bodily harm (i.e. super hot sauce)is probably not the best way to go. Thankfully, I've never had this problem, but if I did I always envisioned that I would make sandwiches with prank powder in them.
Something like this:Ultimate Unicorn Sprinkles is blue, but tastes like green apple. It's the atom bomb of this set - the "Ultimate": it is super sour, foams up, and stains your victim's mouth blue.

Around here people just leave stupid notes on the refrigerator: "I know who you are." and then someone sent an email to the employees of this building (we have multiple facilities in PA) "Whoever took the milk with the name ### on it, put it back. It is not yours."
This email was sent 3 or 4 times.... I have no idea what ever became of it...
At another job the thief was eventually fired - but I don't think it was for lunch stealing (or any other stealing for that matter) - whenever a bunch of us that used to work there get together, the story is always retold about how many lunches went missing. There was rumor that someone even confronted the guy but no one ever validated that.
Good luck!.0 -
Special brownies with a sign that says do not touch, and then have a random drug test.0

I go with ex-lax idea...or dose it to the hilt with chilli powder and the hottest chillis, tobasco etc....that'll make them think twice!0

I had a friend who did this. He got tired of having his lunch stolen and baked ex-lax into brownies. He found out who the culprit was.0 -
Put a note on the lunch that says that you have licked all of the meal inside the bag. Won't catch anyone, but you won't have it stolen.0

^ I would technically say that ex-lax is fair play. A little poo never hurt anyone.
My vote is for jalapeno seeds hidden inside.0 -

That video was awesome. My favorite part was towards the end when she tried to "rearrange" the chips so that it looked like none were missing.0 -
